Description:
"The Asian Legal Resource Centre has in numerous previous written statements submitted to
the Human Rights Council and to its predecessor described how the politicization and
decrepitude of Myanmar?s courts, policing and prosecution agencies are major obstacles to
the enjoyment of basic human rights in the country. In the last year, as political conditions
have begun to change, many organizations and concerned individuals have in turn begun to
appreciate the extent to which the country?s justice system is indeed a heavy barrier to the
realization of human rights. In particular, many people have begun to take seriously calls to
study and develop responses to the pervasive corruption in the system. Meanwhile, public
debate about corruption has steadily increased...".....Written NGO statement to the 20th Session of UN Human Rights Council.
